How every Premier League club could line-up after the transfer deadline has passed

The January transfer window closes tonight but some clubs are still trying and thrash out last-minute deals for players they want to recruit.

Chelsea have been the busiest side so far, securing deals for Christian Pulisic and Gonzalo Higuain this month, while also letting Cesc Fabregas join Monaco.

Higuain has been the most high-profile name to come to the Premier League in January

But there are plenty of rumours flying around so how might every team look by the time the weekend’s fixtures roll around?

Below you can see how every club in the top tier could line up – with their new signings – come the matches.

AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth have had a very good January in the market so far, signing Dominic Solanke for £19million and Nathaiel Clyne on loan – both from Liverpool.

They also brought in Wales international Chris Mepham from Brentford and it looks like they’re going to keep hold of star striker Callum Wilson after Chelsea and West Ham’s interest in him faded.

Is this how Eddie Howe’s team will look?

Arsenal

Manager Unai Emery announced the club would only be able to sign players on loan this winter and said they were looking to bring in two players this week.

Denis Suarez has been re-united with Emery and may join permanently.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Christopher Nkunku had also been linked with a move to Arsenal, along with Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic, but it’s unlikely either will happen.

Will Emery get the best out of this team?

Brighton

The Seagulls have done one piece of business in January – signing talented Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, 20, before loaning him back to Argentinos Juniors for the remainder of the season.

It’s very unlikely there will be anyone coming in or leaving Brighton before the deadline.

There won’t be any changes to Brighton’s line-up

Burnley

We didn’t expect many changes to Burnley’s line-up as they had been pretty quiet in the transfer market.

James Tarkowski was briefly linked to Liverpool, while Joe Hart was also reportedly considering a move to Preston in the Championship but given Tom Heaton is fit again and performing well, Hart wouldn’t make this team anyway.

On deadline day though a deal taking Sam Vokes to Stoke City and taking Peter Crouch the other way has emerged.

Cardiff City

Cardiff are in a relegation battle and did recruit two forwards to help steer them out of trouble – Oumar Niasse and Emiliano Sala.

However, the days after Sala completed his move from Nantes ended in tragic circumstances when a private plane he was on board went missing over the English channel last week.

Leicester City

Leicester are a club in a rut and the writing appears to be on the wall for under pressure manager Claude Puel so there’s no real appeal to join the club at present.

Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans seems set to replace Vicente Iborra, who left for Villarreal earlier this month.

Liverpool

Injuries in defence have been the running theme at Liverpool in January and despite all this, Jurgen Klopp has been reluctant to get anyone else in before the deadline.

Liverpool are very unlikely to bring in any new faces despite having a number of injury concerns

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola’s men are also unlikely to bring in any new players before the deadline either as they usually do the big-money moves in the summer.

They were linked with the likes of West Ham youngster Declan Rice as they look to find a long-term replacement for an ageing Fernandinho and signed Ante Palaversa from Hajduk Split before loaning him back.

Any business City do is likely to be in the summer

Manchester United

Life is good at Old Trafford these days, even if they are a bit questionable in defence.

It was never likely Manchester United were going to bring in any players as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not their permanent manager, not yet anyway, but Anthony Martial has signed a new contract.

Newcastle United

They nearly signed Jordan Lukaku, brother of Romelu, but that deal fell through at the last minute.

But now Miguel Almiron has arrived for a club-record fee along with Antonio Barreca from Monaco.

Can Almiron proved ammo for Rondon and more goals to the team?

Southampton

Saints have waved goodbye to Manolo Gabbiadini, Wesley Hoedt, Steven Davis and Cedric Soares this January as Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to build a Southampton team in his image.

They’re in need of goals and were been linked with Birmingham frontman Che Adams, but this is unlikely to happen.

Ralph Hasenhuttl is doing well with the Saints

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham broke an unwanted record of being the only team to go through an entire summer transfer window without signing a player since the window came into play in 2003.

And despite injuries to Harry Kane and Dele Alli, it looks like no one else is coming in, although Georges-Kevin Nkoudou has left, and Vincent Janssen may follow.

No new recruits expected at Spurs despite the injuries to Kane and Alli

Watford

Watford boss Javi Gracia has ruled out signing any players in January, so their transfer window has been more about keeping their players, namely Abdoulaye Doucoure.

The midfielder signed a new five-year contract in the summer but told French media earlier this month that he is ‘going to leave Watford’ amid links to French giants PSG and Chelsea, while he’s almost nursing an injury.

Javi Gracia is doing fine job this season.

West Ham

So after all the fretting from West Ham fans, Arnautovic will stay after the Austrian penned a contract extension at the club last weekend despite being heavily linked with a move to China.

However, the Hammers could sign striker Maxi Gomez from Celta Vigo, in what would be a record fee, but loan him back to the Spanish club during the second half of the season.
